The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) launched the Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan on 09.07.2015. Late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam (former President of India) presided over the function. The thrust of the Abhiyan is to provide support and a platform for schools to make Science, Mathematics and Technology exciting for children and encourage them to develop a natural curiosity interest and love towards learning Science and Mathematics, literally to “ignite their minds”.

One of the key highlights of the Abhiyan is the ‘Mentoring’ of schools and children through ‘Mentoring Institutions’ like IITs, NITs, Central Institutions, IISERs and Central State Universities and Colleges. Under the Abhiyan, the MHRD is also collaborating with Google in its ‘Code to Learn’ Contest where school students will be encouraged to develop Code using innovative software. Similarly, the Ministry is partnering with Intel for developing innovative technological capacities in girl students in Government schools.

In the first three years of the Abhiyan, it is expected that 25% of all Government schools will be covered by the ‘Mentoring Institutions’ through various activities and innovative strategies in partnership with the Department of Higher Education.

The Ministry invites ideas and suggestions from people on how the Abhiyan may creatively involve individuals to join the movement and to work directly work with school and school children to "ignite their minds".

Please make primary education and healthcare the topmost prioritized of your government The statistics of literacy rate is on paper only...in actual there are number of children who can not afford to go to school, why can't there be mobile schools? If some children can' t go to school, schools can go to one in need...

In continuation to last comment- more number of researchers will help fill up the huge vacancies in IITs / NITs.. Increase salary of faculties also to match with what their friends get in industry. And in dearth of respectable pay our talent is going out if India. Just see how many graduates from top 25 institutes stay in India.. Very less..!

Dear Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, Adding on to my previous post I would also like to point out that there should be increased govt. funding for scientific research in India. Western countries are way ahead of us as they spend heavily on their scientific research. Almost all the breakthroughs in science these days come from western world. Kindly support your scientists too, as in coming future the economics of any country is going to be decided by their scientific research. Regards

First parents needs to understand that their kid is unique no matter what's his or her interest is. Now to make science more interesting from beginning one has to ask the kids to.solve problems rather than asking them question n provision them with answers. I think just asking them to solve problem and informing about constraints will encourage a child to think about solution with free thinking. A mind which is free of fear of failure is one which ends up finding solutions.

Putting it straight and simple, the way the things we are being taught at school needs to be revised and upgraded in order to create curiosity among young minds. As a student i was never able to relate much to the practicality of the things that were taught to us(CBSE). Modernizing the teaching techniques used by the teachers in ordinary schools, in order to make classrooms more understandable. Training is required for teachers as well. project works require a lots of attention to develop skills

There should be creative ways to reach out to students ,the gap between the students and teachers should be dissolved ,the students should feel at home with the teacher for making study more interesting and creative firstly there should be a strong tie between the student and the teacher because today what we see is lack of respect and connectivity between them and to build this connectivity we must inculcate human values in students rather focusing only my bookish learning ,to make bright India

Increase the pay that the scientists get! If a person becomes engineer he gets starting salary if 30 k per month at age of 23. And a PHD student studying in IISc Banglore gets 22k per month Stipend at age of 29!! And after completion of PHD also there are no great chances to catch up on the potential money loss. What is the point of doing work in pure science when applied science gives better quality of life! So address this stipend difference. Make it 50k and set how many innovations you get

#MHRD. "There are no bad students, but a bad teacher". The first and foremost thing that we need to address is the need to get Good Teachers. We need to start giving respect (either monetarily or by giving them special status in society) to them first. Without good teachers, students will not get good guidance and direction.

Focus more on Practicals rather than theory only. Assign more weightage to practicals. Encourage desi solutions (jugad) for our problems. Not everyone is genius,and new inventions are not daily norms. Proper advertisement of attractive salaries in Research field, will also attract talents. #RashtriyaAvishkarAbhiyan
